Hi John,
Sorry to hear about your troubles! I actually attend the University of Guelph and am in the process of getting diagnosed myself. I recently saw a doctor here although she wasn't very good at listening to me and had very little knowledge of celiacs. She gave me a form for a blood test and told me to go whenever and it would cost 80$.
I am actually going back to BC to see the physician I have seen me my whole life and I do know the test there is free.
Unfortunately with the blood test you do need to be eating gluten again, and same for the endoscopy the GI would do. I can't see why you'd have to wait very long for a blood test, although the results will take about a week to get back.
Anyways I hope this helps!!

I saw a doctor yesterday to discus celiacs with, unfortunately she really did not have a clue and also was not getting what I told her. I told her I had been eating gluten-free although I know there has been some consumption of gluten. She told me based on only 2 symptoms I managed to tell her she didn't think I was Celiacs, and that my fatigue I associated with gluten should NOT get better with a gluten-free diet if it was Celiacs!!! She gave me an order for a blood test, and only told me to fast prior to it, this is AFTER the fact I told her I was eating gluten free...
Anyways I'll be able to see my family physician at the end of April/beginning of May. So I decided that I would do the gluten challenge so that when I see him he can order me a blood test. So I started it last night and already as far as symptoms I've had constant smelly gas, constipation, bloating, and some mild abdominal pain. At this point I am fairly convinced that I am a Celiac. I just can't wait to get a diagnosis and some closure in my life!

If she's had this since birth and she was breast fed it seems unlikely to me, but if she was on formula, and I have no idea what they put in formula, it may be a more likely possibility.
Hope you figure out the cause!

Thank you for your answers
Wheatchef- I never mentioned at all if any my symptoms resumed or not. Currently I have been getting some cross contamination and although my constipation isn't as severe, it is certainly still around along with gas, and I do know what its like to be more consistent.
Nora_n- Thank you for confirming that, and 72 weeks is a year and 20 weeks, or a year and 5 months. I think you were thinking 72 MONTHS is 6 years, or did you still just mean weeks and had a brain fart? Lol.

I'm fairly convinced at this point that I have celiacs. My symptoms include constipation for as long as I can remember, mental and physical fatigue, and gas, but are not limited to. Going on a gluten free diet has helped me feel sooo much.
I did have a blood test done about 2 and a half years ago, I had been gluten free prior to that and after 3-4 weeks of resuming a gluten diet my blood test came back negative, although I am convinced I do have it. Would any of you agree that 3-4 weeks of eating gluten could have give me a false negative?? Do my symptoms convince any of you that I have it?
Regardless of diagnosis I am going to stick to a gluten free diet, but I really want to know for piece of mind, and also the potential government reimbursement for gluten free foods associated with celiacs would be very appreciated as a poor student!!
